Lessons from Holland on fighting rising sea levels
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2017
- Windmills are more than just a traditional part of the Dutch landscape; they have played a key role in the war Holland has waged against the sea for centuries. Today the Dutch are using ever-more innovative methods to combat rising sea levels, strategies that may also benefit other nations confronting the effects of climate change. Martha Teichner reports. Originally broadcast on May 21, 2017.

Dutchman: Did you think about preventing the disaster?
American: *:O*
you all prolly dont care at all but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account?
I was stupid lost the password. I would love any help you can offer me.
@Waylon Joshua instablaster ;)
@Aries Neil I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process now.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
'Its in our veins'
Thinking about it, that might be true. I can remember quite clearly as a little kid, me digging trenches and reservoirs on the beach. Was rather satisfied watching water moving from A to B without flooding my sandcastle
@@Leon_Schuit While the Germans just dig holes... secretly they want be as cool as the dutch and below sea level.
im 50 and i still do!
Now that you point it out.. I did the same thing!
This every summer XD
OMG I did the same thing when I was young :)
6:25 "what if waterlevel rises? does the house rise too? " THAT'S HOW FLOATING WORKS YOU UNBELIEVABLE AMERICAN!!!!
The most Kind and respectful people that I ever have seen in my Life. I love dutch people , I love Nederland.
Don't exaggerate please !
'war against water'.. nah we just call it common sense
Americans like to slap a war on anything unwinnable, Drugs, Terror, I'm half convinced Trump will announce a war on clean energy or education any day now.
@Teringventje man man man hoe oud zijn jullie
@Teringventje Hahahah, pinkie eerder.
@Catalogus Strijd translates to battle, rather than war. In any case, I don't care much about the way Americans phrase things, they seem to like superlatives, which is their own choice. What I think most people here are aiming for is that the Dutch have mostly seen it is a challenge, rather than a battle (let alone a war).
What bugs me a little bit is that, like most documentaries made by our American friends, they seem to create a lot of fuss about things which are a fact of life for the people they talk about. That whole sensationalist way of reporting annoys me (and I suspect that I'm not alone, at least not in this comment section).
@@Leon_Schuit you're not alone my friend, far from it. Americans will never understand our european mindset. Every news have to be as exciting as a movie or something like that. We europeans like facts much more than fake sensationalism they cannot get rid off. but that's mainly because of the public that will not watch news if it's not as fake and manipulative as this video. That's the only way it is interesting to them sadly!
The Netherlands are the REAL Prepers of earth for 1000 or more Years an helping other Country too give it some Respect
Don't ever disrespect or underestimate the strength of nature, that's the bottom line.
One meter more of sea level they can engineer. After that they need all floating houses.
The old farm STOND there, hahaha! Beautiful............Boerke.
LMAO.
Having lived in the netherlands for almost 2 years, everytime when I see a dijk, polder or atleast a video on it, my respect towards the dutch increaes tenfold..Being an Indian and I have always had the comfort of living in high areas never realised that surronded by water is dangerous but still places gets flooded in my country..I truly love and admire their design, approach and the way they implemented it.I hope every low lying area in the world learn from them..
Bangladesh could greatly profit of them
@@moow950 Yes
True power and intelligence start at home but don't forget to look outside.
Try Bangladesh for water problems...
Hi, seems like you have lived in Neathelands. I was just curious to know what is the staple food in the country. Rice? or what?
"God made the earth, the Dutch made the netherlands. Jesus turned water into wine, the Dutch turned sea into land."
@Warrior Son, right, because it will just be the Dutch saying that. The UK, Germany and Belgium will be totally fine when that happens.
@Warrior Son, because they didn't. Yet the vast majority of the Dutch population lives in areas which were either marshes, lakes or areas prone to flooding before any poldering was done. I know it sounds like an arrogant statement, but it is to be taken with a grain of salt, and mostly displays a sense of national pride.
Warrior Son I didn’t create the Netherlands though, they did that themselves
@@god5620 yea, know that one my good old flying spagetthi monster, bless you
@Warrior Son By the time the Dutch get wet feet. God will be very busy with all the people who calling for him because their city is going under..
Our water management system is one of the seven great miracles of the world.
There is a concrete block next to it that says:
Hier gaan over het tij de maan de wind en wij
( here the tides are ruled by the moon the wind and us ( the Dutch)
@Fuzzlebums I think he meant the 7th modern wonders of the world
Lol and in america they would call this “socialism”, it s called civic conscience, and it s simply the opposite of wild individualism and selfishness
Yeyup
we call it Christian solidarity here :)
@@vanderdole02 no we don't. No one does. And it has NOTHING to do with Christianity
Them calling this socialism sounds like the the old ages, where they accused people for heresy. People who don't want to believe things that could be done better, not willing to see the benefits for being open-minded.
@@vanderdole02 it transcends faith. Aptly said , civic conscience. And let’s not turn this into a holly war and leave at that.
We're going to build a wall and the ocean is going to pay for it.
Well I am going to build an OCEAN and the mexicans will pay!!
This is a lesson for the world on how to deal with rising sea levels
If you have a problem with water, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire a Dutch team.
It's true what the guy at the end said. It's in our veins.
Good reference! :-)
Hatred of the ocean is in Dutch blood
Maybe in 50 years the Netherlands will cross the English channel
@@aneesh2115 The Dutch don't hate the oceans and seas of the world. Trade across the oceans is what made the Dutch republic rich during the 1600s. And a bit of privateering too (Piet Hein).
@@aneesh2115 we are the only power in the world that waged war on english soil ( the raid on medway ) france and germany could only dream about that .
@@Smellslikenarcspirit We didn't only wage war on English soil, we won.
The most impressive detail about the Rotterdam storm barrier, is the fact that it is a float barrier. That means, it swings out and is then filled with water. This however requires a two axis joint in the mooring points, which is accomplished by a giant 1m diameter ball joint that was a challenge to machine in 1997. Damned, I'm not even Dutch, and I remember this from the opening 20+ years ago!!
The joint hase a diameter of 10 meter .
The mounts are called terps and it’s where the living with the water started. We don’t have a war with the water: the water is our economic backbone as well as the risk we live with.
Most of us love the water.
I wish the U.S. would do something like this instead of wasting trillion of dollars on wars.
i wish your nation do something . try refilling the water tables that been drained for farms world wide , that i bet drop sea levels LOL . you pay for it
@@danehart2783 I wish many would stop depending on the U.S. to bail them out, foot the bill and save the world! I agree with u Sal 👍
@@TarHeelForevah Give it up Trumpie; such a tired argument. The word is passing us by. Keep hanging on the the hoary tome of "America the Great". Your people ruined that story last generation, now you just sound pathetic. If you want people to stop depending on others, you need to take a close look on the money flow from Blue to Red states.
@@TarHeelForevah Yup, the US of A sure bailed out Iraq pretty well. Libya too (the most prosperous country in the Middle East before the US of A decided to 'help'). Both countries are so much better and safer now than they were before the US of A invaded.
@@TarHeelForevah I love it when you say everyone is depending on the U.S. but the U.S. didn't fight any war alone during and since the second world war. Just this week the U.S. asked his allies to help in Syria.
The whole planet should follow the lead of the Dutch. Adapt while we still can.
move
Only on water management maybe, we make HUGE mistakes on other issues and topics, believe me... ;)
This makes too much sense. With the amount of money we spend on trying to stop the climate from changing, we can improve infrastructure to prepare for inevitable disasters and climate change.
Yeah, because the water will be your only issue....
now that makes sense
Cool well I will just sit back and relax because the government will take care of it
We must change our ways anyway: estimates for the world running out of oil range between 50 - 100 years. We'll have a few hundred years more of natural gas. And it all gets ever more expensive to get out of the ground. US oil breaks even at $55 per barrel because of fracking and oil rigs, which means it hasn't had any true profits (other than 24 billion in tax payer dollars annually) since 2015. And "fossil" fuels and their industries also gets you lots of pollution and landscape destruction.
Besides, money spent on mitigating climate change doesn't just disappear into a dark pit. Saving energy = saving money. Plus the renewables sector is growing and improving fast, with clean and often better paying jobs than in dirty industries.
Water and Americans 100% confidence and 10% knowhow. lmfao.
Good job done by Netherlands hardworking people.👍
"And houses that float on the water" "But what happens when the water rises?" . . .
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Then the houses rise with it
As you may have noticed by now from a number of comments, most Dutch people take offence when foreigners refer to their country as “Holland”. In Dutch the country is called “Nederland”, and therefore the appropriate translation in English is “the Netherlands”. In the 17th century “Holland” used to be 1 of the original seven provinces of the Netherlands. In 1840 the province was split into two: “Noord-Holland” (North Holland), which is where the capital Amsterdam is located, and “Zuid-Holland” (South Holland), where we find Rotterdam and The Hague (“Den Haag”) as major cities. Since 1986 the Netherlands comprises a total of twelve provinces. Besides the two mentioned above, these are: Drenthe, Flevoland, Friesland, Gelderland, Groningen, Limburg, North Brabant, Overijssel, Utrecht, and Zeeland. When someone is born in 1 of these ten provinces, he or she is ‘not from Holland’. In linguistics, the incorrect use of the name “Holland” to refer to the entire country is called “pars pro toto”, Latin for "a part for the whole". Another common mistake in this category is saying England instead of United Kingdom, thus excluding Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Special thanks to Mark from Wolters World, who in his list on UA-cam of “The Don'ts of The Netherlands” lists this as number 1: “don’t say Holland, say the Netherlands”: ua-cam.com/video/UXVnvvHLCkA/v-deo.html
A daakoewell to Holland
Nobody in holland or the netherlands cares
Most part of the netherlands which is below sea-level is actually "Holland" - either North or South Holland.
Xxjeroen nooit in andere provincies geweest?
Jannette Berends reageer anders ff op een ouwe comment van 2 maanden geleden...... pfffff, ik had toen niks te doen maar ga jij nu ook ff wat nuttigs doen
In 2500 the Netherlands will have figured out how to drain the entire sea and claim all the new land for themselves. Their plan is to be so polite that everyone else will let them get away with it lol.
I wonder if we can reclaim Dogger Bank.
The problem with Miami Florida is that it's built on limestone and it's sinking because the limestone is dissolving and the city is only 3' above sea level
The Netherlands has always been for 26% beneath sea level, just be prepared but knowing the US government they will only act when it's too late, just like New Orleans.
@@Brozius2512 The Netherlands is sinking too. If you pump out of soggy land, the land will sink. So we are constantly going down. It is funny to see houses that are further from the ground each decade. We need to keep adding steps to our front doors.
Holland is not a country ,but it is two provinces in Netherlands.
It used to be a single, independent state. Before the Burgundians came and conquered all of the Dutch states. With the 'Pax Burgundia,' the mediëval Dutch states had to learn to live together without going to war every year or so.Then the Burgundians were taken over/merged with the Habsburg Empire. Then the Habsburgs split into a Spanish section and an Austrian section. Which is why we still have the words "The king of Spain - I have always honoured" in our national anthem. Which was written to celebrate the very fact we seceded from the Spanish empire (Eighty Years War). Imagine the American anthem having the words "God Save the King." Back to Holland: it's like England is known all over the world when people mean to say "Great Britain." Few people know our country's name is the "Kingdom of the Netherlands" but then I doubt many non-British will know that the official name for Great Britain is the United Kingdom.
AudieHolland wow
I am not from holland i am from gelderland
Yes, our country is The Netherlands, not Holland!
William Wallace ik neem aan dat je niet in Zuid- of Noord-Holland woont
what a pretty country
3:45 the old farm stond there 😂😂🇳🇱👍
Thank you. Very interesting
Thinking ahead and implementing preventive measures show the country cares for its citizens. Well done!
Coming decades will be a challenge, the water is rising faster than ever.
where
I had to listen a couple of times what the name of the town was. She makes it more difficult than it really is. Broek in Waterland is pronounced as ...Brook in Waterland.
The meaning of broek in the ontext of town names is a lot closer to the english brook(small river) than to the modern dutch broek(pants).
@@bramvanduijn8086 In modern day Dutch broek is still used for swampy land.
@@Hadewijch_ I've never heard that myself, what part of NL?
@@bramvanduijn8086 West Noord-Brabant en Midden Limburg in ieder geval. Vlak bij mijn woning ligt bijvoorbeeld een drassig stuk land dat het broek wordt genoemd als er naar verwezen wordt.
@@Hadewijch_ Interessant, bedankt. Weer wat geleerd.
I work at Deltares ....
Very nice....Thank you...
Come visit us and see our ingenious waterworks 😊
Beats going to Amsterdam anyday!
Ingenious, but if this is the first year of the great Greenland melt...
thank god for the dutch
Thank evolution

Fantastic, water engineering.
My physics teacher actually worked at Deltares and helped design the wave machine in 2:20
and here in England we have learned nothing from the Dutch, or rather we don't want to parts of the east coast of England is been eroded away at such a rate by the sea, the Dutch would have nipped in the bud 100yrs ago

The Netherlands*
Greetings from Holland
When you see the rats running to high ground, is time to sell your home before you’re literally under water. No pun intended.
We are not in America .
It is great engineering and I am very proud of it as a Dutch guy. But the final solutions is preventing sea level rise. If that doesn't happen enough, even our engineering skills cannot handle the consequentes. The tricky part is that we know we are save in this century so during our lives. What comes in next centuries and beyond is an abstract danger for many of us including myself. But we know that we can't defend lower countries against sea rising of many meters and exactly that is going to happen. Not in our lives or that of our children or grandchildren. Not even in the next century, but the total potential of all ice on Antartica is more then 50 meters of 160 feet. We just don't know yet how quick it will melt and if there are points of no return when it comes to warming up the climate in this proces. All the news I hear the last years ist more or less worse then earlier projections. Every new projection science is making is always worse then the projections before, never better. Mainly because we don't know yet fully the dynamics of icemelting or of the gulfstream that is getting weaker, transporting less of the warmer water to the north and less colder water to the south.
when you have the power to go from 2.1k like to 2.2k likes
There is a potential, exponential rise in sea level coming, because current sea level rise lags current sea temperature rise, which lags current greenhouse gas levels. Scientists are conditioned to be conservative and only predict a linear rise, because that expectation is easier to defend, but the gap between linear and exponential will be critical to changes in sea level.
@Jon Gill Never trust a man who won't admit to being wrong. Being wrong is the only way to learn and improve.
4 years later nothing happend lol
stop reading fairy tales please
So much for telling your kid(s) to go outside and play in the yard!
Instead kids can have fun swimming in the yard and go out in little boats together with a parents.
And play with their house seal?
the water became our pet, we can make it do what ever we want it to do. not our enemy but like a pet pitbull, no issues if you rais it well but it can still bite when in a bad mood.
WONDERFUL THANK YOU!
The Dutch are on average the tallest people on earth and one of the longest collective life spans
They do many things well
We have too be tall, so we can keep our heads above the water when we flood.
Lol. The Dutch model is never going to pass any Fed or state governance in large. Because... you don't solve a problem sustainably, you just do some short term fixing at the highest possible price... Brings in lots more money... That's the American way. Lol.
Your country literally physically ceasing to exist is kinda a strong motivator😂
Venice, Italy should hire the Dutch to save itself
They have.
A Discovery channel item was on that.
A Italian water management ingineer(a Woman) was talking what she was buiding there.
In the back ground you could see Boskalis and other Dutch compagnies working hahahahahhaha
Even the Dutch think Venice was built in the wrong place. Doesn't mean we won't take your money to build your temporary fixes though :D
still don't know which village/town she was talking about. Listened several times... but.. NO
Broek in Waterland.
Its the netherlands, not holland
You are absolutely right, however for English speakers to call the Netherlands, Holland is perfectly fine. Remember, I said English speakers.
I admire those farmers who move away so the government could build those new structures to help with rising sea levels, here in US you can’t even convince regular folks to move away from the US-Mexico border to build that build HUGE wall of ours..
Thats why we Dutch build that sea between Mexico and the Netherlands.
@@RedbadvanRijn-ft3vv form all the water from Mexico!!!
those regular folks have some thing called common sense. Wall or not poor are always finding a way in to the usa.
You could if you'd pay them.
These relocations take some hefty sums of public money: a new house paid for by the state could work in the US as well. But it would be seen as socialism, I think.
The wallis a waste of $. Need to use it in Florida and e. Coast for bad storms and flooding daily. Property damage would matter to me more than some stupidazz wall.
All bow down in awe to us Dutchies!
that village or town is beautiful. anyone know its name?
The main problem with the war against water is that the water often attacks from above and has air superiority for most of the year.
We don't fight the water, we work with it.
@@Brozius2512 And we use it against our enemies. The Spanish were seriously inconvenienced when we flooded their armies. About 30% of Dutch floodings in the last 500 years were acts of war, usually against invaders.
Would this system work if the wind was 180 mph and raining at a rate of 8 inches an hour, not so sure.
Ruben de Jonge That is what areas of the US deal with, New Orleans and such. Not sure how severe of weather they deal with and I am not an engineer.
probably not, but in the netherlands we dont have storms like that. so this system works in the netherlands, and if it gets improved it will deffinately work for other countries too
Our Delta Works are actually built for a 1 in a 10000 year flood event so yeah pretty much...
Yes it would work
Yep! 😂😂😂
In the rest of the Netherland it is the same often, not just in the holland-ghetto areas
The problem in Holland is the sinking soil!
Well, one of them. Draining swamps gives you dry land, but it’s still moist underneath - as it fully dries out (and rots further) it keeps sinking. Wait long enough and it’ll stabilize just fine. That’s only a few millennia away.
Well.....come to Noord Brabant! It's much more fun there anyway ;)
We need defences in the U.K Along the East Coast following the Humber Estuary.We have very little and even less is spend nowhere enough to defend the big city's against flooding.
move to higher ground
The story transitioned from ocean flooding to river flooding without making that distinction. The farmers are allowing rivers to overrun their banks. That can work on a river, but wouldn't work on an ocean front.
Dutch Wetlands! 🇳🇱
My Hometown, Miami, Florida, USA!
Netherlands
Listen to ´Down to the river ´ by Tainted Lady. Like and share this great anthem.
What was the town called at the start?
Broek in Waterland just outside of Amsterdam North.
When death enters the ship.
There is no escaping.
Oh water, oh unpredicatable element.
The sea has given, has taken.
The Dutch should raise the land by dredging and importing the Dogger Bank.
The US environmental official dismissed efforts to combat climate change as misguided, arguing that unsafe drinking water is a more urgent problem because “most of the threats from climate change are 50 to 75 years out”
They need to work with Bangladesh
we do
We all need to work with Bangladesh,The Netherlands are rich but not that rich.Bangladesh is poor as f... so you need alot of funding.
1000 years ago,we were also poor.
But look what we made back then.
Nowhere in Florida have I been able to find that the sea level is going to rise 6 feet. It is not happening. Please see CDN sea level checks.
Good idea, ignore it! We in the Netherlands rather are prepared for the worst after having so many people drown after a flooding.
Better to be prepared and nothing happens then not being prepared and things go wrong.
Letting the river flood a bit of land deposits silt building it up.
I have an idea the firefighter helicopters that pick up water to douse fires. What if we get hundreds if not thousands of those helicopters and they pick up the ocean water carry it inland thus making the ocean slightly lower.
Sea levels have been rising steadily for 40,000 years and are not rising any faster today than they have been.
The rise is increasing but people like to talk in feet or meters while in reality it has been 2,5 millimeters in the last 2 decades. around 1mm in the 2 decades before that. The problem is that people think in short terms and sea level rise for most of us won't hit during our lives on earth even if it's 6 feet by the end of the century let's be realistic you can do a lot in 81! years. You can build and adopt to that. Unless your a poor country or keep denying and doing nothing till it's too late.
now that is untrue
it has been rising sine the last ice age about 1170 years ago
randar1969 You won't be able to honestly say that after the big Greenland melt of 2019.
THey have dealt with it a long time and have been developing more modern technology for it snce this 1953 incident.. The rest of the world is just now facing it, so the Netherlands has more direct experience and knowledge simply because they must, for so long now! If they were on higher ground they would just now be dealing with it too, and would not have much tech for it..necessity tends to be the driver..
Harley Davidson needs to go into the boat engine industry, loud engines at 5 am in the morning.
Omg, those cows look healthy and delicious.
They are, it's proven way healthier to eat meat from Europe than it is from North America.
yea, i'm hungry now
Dutch cows have the least ammount of anti-biotics in them. Because alot of research went into how to lower the ammount of anti-biotics without the cows getting sick.
Eating an animals muscles looks delicious ?
Look at the udders, those are milk cows. They won't be slaughtered for years to come.
We Dutch love water! But...prepared!
At some point the US is going to need to do something like this to tackle rising sea levels.
They won't, they only act when it's already gone wrong because they don't wanna spent money on something not useful. They need their money to wage war, that's more important.
@@Brozius2512 And I hate the fact that this is the reality we have to live in. The US will most likely only take action when the problem has gotten to be so bad that by then, it will be too late.
@@TheFaso95 I'm afraid you are right about that.
Lesson 1: the Netherlands
Lesson 2: living with water instead of war against water
Fixed it for you.
Sea level rise will be around 20-24 cm at the end of the century, there are no signs that the rise is accelerating. So we have adapt to this, not to scary rises of 3-6 feet that only exists in computermodels.
You're talking about low tide rise you dunce.
Rising sea level ?
Sinking land level ?
Yes, big parts of the Netherlands are actually sinking with 3 to 6 millimeters a year. In some parts of the Netherlands it's sinking 7 millimeters a year.
"What happens if the water rises, do the houses rise too"? no they will be submerged....my god
Yes they rise too, there flooting :)
@@pjotrbecker7230 i know i was being sarcastic
@@Oxygenefrl haha #metoo
You'll need to disconnect some wiring and pipes and connect them to a higher connection point.
I never understood why people would build properties right on the seaside.
Usually cause they were fishermen.
It's real nice when there are no storms and are in denial about Greenland melting.
Adapt or Die. Great job for the Dutchmen
use siphon and water going down to sea automatically
Here on the East coast of the U.K the land is disappearing fast.The British government refuses to invest and defend.With other words they don't give a toss about the natives.It can all be protected not slinging a few boulders to defend the land that never works.

For a thousand years? So now, all of a sudden it's global warming. Right. 1953?
Great point same with Fiji sinking into the crust because of spreading plates. That is the flagship propaganda
You clearly have no clou what you are talking about.
yes, sea levels have been going up since the last ice age, but what scientists mean when they say "climate change is causing sea level rise" is actually "climate change is contributing to an acceleration in sea level rise" you would know that if you didnt just read headlines and instead read sources
Prevention is is the answer to disasters
the old farm "stond" there 🤣
If fighting pollution got you laid . There would be no pollution
Landscape
It's always said the Dutch are at "war" with the water but that is such an idiotic concept.
You can't fight a war against a fact of nature. The Dutch simply adjusted to the water and have done so since before the Romans showed up and gave up on conquest because of said water.
There is no war, just respecting and adjusting to nature. And maybe sometimes some land grab but it's give and take in any relationship.
They have polderd around 1/5 if its total land, thats called fighting back becouse all the land they reclaimed was once from the dutch but as the ice age ended that all flooded and a massive flood gave the dutch an intire sea in the middle of their country
U.S. structure of government must first STUDY a preparedness plan , but who wants to take their chances waiting a couple years relying on experts , who already have a proven record of failure , to show you a new improved method of failing ?
The water will eventually rule.

if only charleston takes the hint
use the power of natural resources so environmental temperature goes down automatically
The sea level is not rising in Miami. Miami is sinking. Big difference.
both can happen at the same time
